It’s no surprise that Morley Candy Makers and owner of the Sander brand earned the 2017 Top Workplaces award.

They make chocolate.

And they’ve been doing so for 150 years.

Still, to receive the award several other aspects must be in place including leadership and job satisfaction, as well as benefits and pay.

“To be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of Workplace Dynamics, which administered the employee feedback survey for the honor by The Detroit Free Press. “Who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day - the employees. Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together.”

It’s also had employees who have been working for the company for more than 40 years.

“It means a lot to be named a top workplace based on actual employee feedback because we believe our team members are the heart of the company and the key to our success,” said Ron Rapson, president of Sanders & Morley Candy Makers.

Best part about all of this?

You can work there too. Sanders currently has openings for those who wish to join the tame. There are currently positions available at its chocolate factory, distribution center and retails stores throughout southeastern Michigan.

“We strive to provide an atmosphere where our people grow professionally and prosper financially along with the company,” Rapson added.
